Presented a polite but razor sharp defense

Thomas Kokonowski saved me from a great deal of angst by getting two serious charges dropped due to insufficient evidence. He gently but incisively shredded the police report's presentation of a traffic stop. The judge sided with him and found insufficient evidence for all but a low level moving vio...lation. I would highly recommend him if you need any type of criminal defense. He handled my case with a clear grasp of the facts and a measure of grace which I think impressed the judge. I certainly am grateful I hired him to defend me.

Kokonowski is your guy!

From the very first phone call I made to Attorney Kokonowski I knew he was the right choice. He helped me rationalize the situation and gave me advice on handling the immediate circumstances before I even met with him the following day. When we did meet, he took the time to collect every detail of ...the case and made sure I understood each step of the process and the choices that were available. My case contained many grey areas that don't come up often and Kokonowski took his time delving into the legal literature to look at every potential piece of info out there. If you need someone who will think outside the box and really put the work in, Tom is the first person you should call. Not only that-- Kokonowski has had experience as a prosecutor before becoming a criminal defense attorney so he knows how every aspect of the justice system works and all of the players involved. Definitely a force to be reckoned with and everyone in the court room knew it! Ultimately he was able to work out the best case scenario for my case and because of him a stupid mistake isn't going to haunt me later in life. I could not have asked for better defense. There were many points along the way that I realized just how much he does for each of his clients, and I'm not only grateful for our legal outcome but for all of the genuine life advice as well. Look no further.

Great attorney

Tom was an excellent attorney. He was efficient, direct and very knowledgeable about my case. I was very concerned about the charges that were against me and worried about the consequences, but after my consultation I had a clear understanding about the direction I needed to go in and it helped put m...y mind at ease. Tom was prepared and handled my case quickly and thoughly and I couldn't be happier to put it behind me. If you're looking for a professional, upstanding attorney- I highly recommend Attorney Thomas Kokonowski.

"One of the Best"

When I was facing a Magistrate’s hearing and had never previously had the need for a defense attorney, I found myself scouring the internet for representation. I had only websites and reviews to go by, compared many local attorneys, and based on a number of factors ultimately decided to contact Tom K...okonowski. A simple phone call where I was to admit that I was in need of an attorney was, for me, very unnerving but his staff was incredibly kind and nonjudgmental, answering any questions I had and setting me up a consultation with Tom. Tom was professional and informative and I found talking about my situation with him to be much less arduous than I had feared. Tom informatively laid everything out for me and covered the possible scenarios and outcomes. His insight and clarity helped me to leave the consultation feeling better than when I went in. At my hearing the Magistrate commented on my choice of representation, saying that I had “Chosen well” and that Tom was “One of the best” (Tom himself had told me this but hearing it from the Magistrate himself gave it a little more weight!). Tom presented a clear, professional, effective defense and in the end he gave me the best possible outcome by winning my hearing for me. He helped me through a scary learning experience, making it as painless as possible and I am relieved to have had him on my side.
